Planets
What’s this?Close
The ten bodies astrology reads: the Sun, the Moon and eight planets. The planet says which part of a person it speaks for, the sign says how that part behaves, and the house says where in life it shows.
Sun in Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

Beyond the planets
What’s this?Close
Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.
North Node in Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
19°56′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
19°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
3°35′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Taurus) and his optimism (Jupiter in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Leo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
Aspects by strength
What’s this?Close
An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.
Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.
Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Mars square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
The Sun conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine Pluto close at 2.1°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.5°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

Saturn trine Pluto wide at 6.2°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 6.6°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 7.1°

The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 9.2°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
